The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) and the Michigan Municipal League understand that civic engagement is a key part of having vibrant communities.

That’s why MSHDA and the League co-sponsor "The Prosperity Agenda" that airs at 7 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of each month on News/Talk 760 WJR. We are proud to announce "The Prosperity Agenda" has won a 2011 MarCom Award for broadcast excellence from the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals.

The MarCom Awards is an international creative competition that recognizes outstanding achievement by marketing and communication professionals. The competition is believed to be the largest of its kind in the world. In 2011, there were more than 6,000 entries submitted in multiple categories.

The MarCom Award is a reflection of a Michigan job well done. We’re not resting on our laurels, however.

In 2012, we’ll continue challenging listeners to help make Michigan a better place to live, work and play by creating vibrant and prosperous local communities.

Programs like "The Prosperity Agenda" help MSHDA, the League, the Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM) and other thought leaders communicate to a broad audience about the importance of such issues as placemaking, economic gardening and entrepreneurial growth.
